Clean Up Week.

The time is almost at hand for us to sharpen up our hoes and unlimber our hose: -to get out

the orarden rake and warm up the lawn mower.

"Clean Up Week" begins Friday, May 1st ana every Richmondite is conscript for the Spotless Town army. Even the children are being lined up to help separate the city from the winter's accumulation of dirt and rubbish. "Clean Up Week" means to make Richmond a healthier city. Frowsy, unkempt back yards and clutfcder up alleys always mean accumulations of filth; filth means flies and flies mean more tuberculosis, more dysentery, more typhoid, mnr suffprintr. more expense, more death.

Richmond will arise from "Clean Up Week" a more beautiful city. The beneficient influences of an attractive environment are difficult to define but none the less real. In a beautiful city life is more worth living and the whole of existence is toned up to a higher level. "Clean Up Week" is worth while because it will make us a more united city. A great amount of talk does little to create the neighborhood spirit while a little bit of co-operative effort "makes the whole city kin." When the neighbors are all out together cleaning up their yards, they come to feel a neighborhood solidarity. They realize, what we will all need to realize before our cities are made what they should be, that our interests are identical and that what benefits one benefits all.

tive office in America, has three houses full of

books. "I've got a town house it's all books,'?

he said recently. "I've got a oountry house it's

all books. More books down at my office and my

wife has had te move a great many into the cellar of my Albany residence." Nature permits a man to be born but once. Books make it possible for him to enter into any age. He can become contemporary with Khufu, the Egyptian pyramid builder. He can travel with the Aryans in their migrations across the wildernesses of Europe. Nature makes it impossible for a person to be in two places at once but books enable him to travel where he wishes. He can visit the white Eskimos with Stefansson or go among the South polar snows with Shackleton. A book is a magic contrivance to enable a man to live a thousand lives and capture for his

own uses the visions and experiences of all peo

ples of all ages in all parts of the earth.

If you have a son, you can do him no greater serviee than to encourage him to become like Cecil Rhodes, an "omnivorous reader."

The Reserve Banks. A goodly number of newspapers over the onimtrv arm nrettv well "het UD" (as our old

friend Josh Billings would say) over the fixing of the boundaries for the federal reserve districts and the selection of the cities to be honored by federal reserve banks. Each big city in the nation not selected had considered itself preordained to be the banking center of its district and has expressed through its news organs with no uncertain voice its contempt for the lack of good sense on the part of the federal reserve commission in overlooking its own superlative advantages. But in spite of this discontent on the part of the cities not chosen and the enormous selfconcert of those selected, plans for the complete fulfillment of the new banking scheme go merrily on. The commissioners knew in the beginning they could not please everybody so did the best they could and let the heathen rage. These contests for the honors of a federal reserve bank have accentuated the growing competition among cities, a fact to which these columns have often borne witness. A healthily growing town that offers the most advantages gets the largest number of new plants. This

means competition among towns ; and that means

that every city must hump itself. So also, if our source of information can be trusted, must the new banks hump themselves. Thus far only 73 out of a total of 21,781 state banks have joined the new system. (Our readers will recall that while a national bank is compelled to join, a state bank need not unless it chooses.) The national institutions have a total capacity of only nine billion dollars as against the combined capitalization of fourteen billion in the control of the state banks. This indicates that if competition is indeed the life of trade, those institutions will be considerably enlivened in the near future.

Murder Is Murder. The one relief from the horror felt in reading the descriptions of the electrocution of the four gunmen charged with the murder of Herman Rosenthal is the reflection that these men had themselves wantonly caused suffering as terrible.

: They had taken human life, the one act on which

the state has a right to wreak its supreme vengeance. But isn't it just as bad to take human life by means other than downright murder? What about the thousands in this country every year who are executed by tuberculosis brought on through the bad conditions due to a

stingy, heartless landlord ? What about the deaths caused by the adulteration of food and drugs ? What about the men who are mangled to death by machinery left uncovered through the criminal negligence of the shop owners more solicitious of dividends than of human safety? What about the inexcusable criminal ignorance of mothers which causes annually the deaths of many helpless babes, as our own mortality records will show? What about the hundreds of children under fourteen years of age who are destroyed every year while working in factories over this coun

try? Some day, when we become more consistent, ill i 1 i -l j . i .

murder, whether it is done with a gun or

interest are as much the enemies of society as

those who shoot their fellows down in cold blood through motives of revenge.

"Omnivorous Readers." "Rhodes was an omnivorous reader." This expression, gleaned from a recent biography of Cecil Rhodes, is recommended to the serious reflection of those who scout the habit of reading as an enervating practice, certain to unfit a man for success in PRACTICAL pursuits. This notion that only ineffectual book-worms and recluses read many books is one of the greatest fallacies ever. The truth is the majority of men of great achievement in every walk of life have been, like Cecil Rhodes, "omnivorous readers." Gladstone, Tolstoy and Lincoln are frequently referred to as the three greatest characters of the nineteenth century. The three of them

were tireless students. Tolstoy knew several lit

eratures. Gladstone read books on every possible occasion the year around. Lincoln was an insatiable reader.

Thomas Edison, when a lad, started in to read a whole public library. He has been a book lover ever since which accounts largely for the scope and power of his mind. Roosevelt loves activity and the open and is by no means a booky mollycoddle. But he has his nose in a volume every chance he gets. Even while loaded down with the burdens of the presidency, he managed to find time to read an amazing number of volumes. , Governor Glynn, whose position is second only to the presidency as the.most important execu-

A Social Center. Miss Thompson, principal of Warner school, has recently "extended a sweeping invitation to the people of the community to make the school building a place for holding educational and social gatherings." This "sweeping invitation" warms our heart for Miss Thompson. There is no reason under heaven why a school building should not be made the Social Center for its district, serving as headquarters for all manners of social activities. It belongs to us all. Why should we not use it? Why not use it as a place for social gatherings, where we can get acquainted with each other? When we meet in lodge, it it with our fellow members. When we meet in church, it is with our fellow believers. When we meet in our political gatherings, it is as fellow partisans. If we could meet in get-together "doings" in the school house, it would be as fellow men and women. If Miss Thompson can make Warner School a real Social Center which the people of her environs can look upon as a community home, she will place the city under obligations to her forever. It will help push a movement that will thaw out the social stiffness and frigidity which is about the only fault people can find with this town.

WHEN THE HOUNDS OF SPRING

When the hounds of spring are on winter's traces, The mother of months in meadow or plain Fills the shadows and windy places Writh Hep of leaves and ripple of rain; And the brown bright nightingale amorotis Is half assuaged for Itylus, For the Thracian ships and the foreign faces; The tongueless vigil, and all the pain. Come with bows bent and with emptying of quivers, Maiden most perfect, lady of light. With a noise of winds and many rivers. With a clamor of waters, and with might; Bind on thy sandals, O thou most fleet, Over the splendor and speed of thy feet! For the faint east quickens, the wan west shivers, Round the feet of the day and the feet of the night Swinburne.
